What is Formatting?
Formatting is a process that creates a file system, allowing a drive to be usable with your computer.
The DriveStation is formatted with NTFS by default.
Windows
Keep the default NTFS format.
Mac

Notes
•
Never unplug, reset, or turn off the computer during the formatting process. This could result in damage to the
drive or other problems. Proper operation cannot be guaranteed if the format process is interrupted.
•
Formatting will erase all data on the hard drive. Before formatting, back up any data. The user is responsible for
any data lost due to formatting of the hard drive.
Don't format the wrong drive! Check the drive letter and partition name carefully.
